    when school was over

    Lazy Eternity cosplay journal – so that those of you who don’t care about costuming but like my blog/journal don’t have to hear my whining about it. Plus, Cath and Ash have access to it so they can post if they want… but I expect them to post about as much as I expect Abraham Lincoln to post about his…

    Elf cloak updates

    I got the fabric for my cloak today. I knew I wanted velvet, like the Rivendell elves, but the green velvet I first chose was too expensive (even on sale… I needed 5 yards, and it was $10 a yard). So I got a deep, deep green, almost dark grey – I think it’s perfect. Mom insists it’s not green…

    when somebody thought I worked at the fabric store

    So we stopped by Hancock’s this morning before going to my grandmother’s, because mom needed another Santa I guess. I went over to the pattern books and was looking for a cloak pattern, just to see how much fabric they recommended for it. I was going back and forth between the books and the pattern drawers, because I kept forgetting…

    Upcoming Cons & Costumes!

    I’m fixing to add a few things to the bottom of this page, so I thought I’d talk about the cons for next year. I really don’t know how people manage to go to so many throughout the year! Cath, Ash and I are all planning on going to MidSouthCon in March. We’re pretty sure we’re going to go to…

    when my parents stayed home

    My parents are out to sabotage me, I know it. One of them has stayed home for the past three days. Mom missed school Wed and Thurs cause she was sick, and today Dad has stayed home cause someone is coming to fix the heater. It makes it hard to spread out all my stuff in the kitchen when they’re…

    when i got gandalf

    Yay yay! There is Gandalf, along with the Sully I got on sale at the Disney store. You can’t see him very good but he IS a dog, and he has a hat, glasses, an owl, robe and boots. They didn’t have proper boots so I had to settle with those dark brown ones. Ash got a bear wearing a…

    when i celebrated

    CELEBRATE!! CELEBRATE!! Dance to the music!! Elfwood finally moved the pieces I had moved for marking. It doesn’t look like the updates have taken to the page yet, but they’re showing in the image list which is a good sign. Well…. they’re showing in my zone47 gallery and not in elfwood… *makes choking sound* Anyway. Darn you people. I’m fixing…

    when i went to build a bear

    Ah! Na is taking Ash and I to Build-A-Bear tonight! I know I’m going to get a dog, not a bear, but I can’t decide what clothes I should get him to wear. I was originally going to put him in the little pilot’s outfit – you know, a little bomber jacket with goggles on his head. But then I…

    Odd

    “Let us climb like monkeys in the playground of love.” Is that phrase from something? Cause it just popped into my head out of nowhere. Maybe the lines in my brain got crossed again…

    when edea was too difficult

    this is the costume I’ve been wanting to do for 2 years now. That’s Sorceress Edea, for those who don’t know. But I run into several difficulties in getting it done… let me list them. #1 Not enough time. This costume is just so indepth. The dress isn’t all that complex, but the headdress and the back frame thingie! Not…

    LOTR Opening Costume?

    I’m trying to figure out what to wear to the LOTR opening. I’m thinking of reusing my Hogwarts robe pattern and make a nicer robe of a different colour and just wearing that and my elf ears… oh I dunno. I refuse to wear a dress. Hrm any suggestions?

    Art Post: SunDowner portraits

    Ok, so… disclaimer. I am writing this description in 2016. I have these images in my SunDowner files and I have NO RECOLLECTION of them whatsoever. No files to give me clues on dates, what they were for… but I AM thinking that I had guests and friends colour my blank line art. But I have NO CLUE WHO!! Argh.…

    when the theater smelled like BO

    UGH! elfwood could at least do the backed up updates they’ve got if they’re going to stop updating for a while. I’ve been trying to delete some pics from my gallery for 2 weeks… and now they’re going to be stuck there. dangit. My parents and I went to see Monsters Inc last night. It was very cute! And !!…

    when i refused to watch LOTR

    Haha, mom’s in the living room yelling, “Oh boy oh boy oh boy!” about the LOTR preview she was watching. I don’t wanna watch anything about it, same as with Harry Potter. I wanna wait til the movie itself to see any of it. I’m just about done with the art update. go check it out. I have to stop…
